Profile:

The mainstay of the New Zealand pace attack since the retirement of Richard Hadlee, and a stout hearted trier. 150 test wickets, but at a higher average than he would like. Lacking the height necessary to get steep bounce from just short of a drivable length, he compensates by bowling a full length and drawing the batsman forward. His best ball is the late outswinger with the new ball, and this is frequently unplayable without taking the edge. Being a little full at times, and not having that ability to bring the odd one back, he is a little predictable and hittable. He can also bowl a dangerous lifting ball, but has to bowl it short thus giving the batsman more runs if he gets it wrong. Very pacey - much more so than most critics realise - and outpaced the entire West Indian quartet in 1994/5. In 1994, doubtless inspired by Waqar Younis, he learned how to bowl reverse swing. He now possess an inswinging yorker which can clean up a tail at the death in limited overs. Has a ODI hat-trick in just those circumstances. With a number of injuries taking their toll, he lost his place in the test side after the first test of 1997 against England during which he was very wayward, but saved his side with the bat, and was not selected in the later ODI squads. Safe fielder in the deep with a good throw.
